Chuck Gray (R)
Chuck Gray has leveraged his position as Secretary of State to advance agenda-driven voting restrictions, driven more by political theater than evidence. Gray championed legislation requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register – known to be burdensome for naturalized citizens – while also pushing for aggressive mail-in ballot limitations. Though Wyoming has no recent history of fraud, Gray has insisted these measures are essential, sowing distrust and making voting harder for dispersed rural residents.
Gray has even joined efforts to roll back ballot drop-box access and insists on state-sponsored “voter integrity” focus that has been repeatedly debunked. His policies mirror a broader right-wing attack on accessible elections, turning common governance tools into barriers. By prioritizing partisan messaging over voter access, Gray is undermining trust in democracy and shrinking the electorate, especially among the most vulnerable communities in Wyoming.
